FRC ISM Input 3: connective tissue loading with positional isometrics with a focus on horizontal adduction of the shoulder.

Want to build strong and functional pectorals? Well don’t ignore the connective tissue of the shoulder. Building tissue resiliency is key and using positional isometrics increases control of the length tension curve.

Increasing control can decrease those “sticky” areas in your lifts and increase upper body durability and increase force output.

To do that, you have to learn to create tension across a spectrum of positions. Cables and bands work great for that. These were :15 holes with :45 rest.

Kettlebell Halos while walking on a balance beam.

Some will say it’s circus. I’ll say I changed the environment to challenge dynamic stability.

This is my kind of core work.

Just a guide to your own biological adaptations.

Just a guide to your own biological adaptations.

High Intensity is heavy loaded, fast as possible work.

High Volume is high amounts of sets and reps.

Combining the two just gets you really good at getting tired, enforces compensatory actions in the human body and speeds up breakdown of joints and connective tissue.

Does it have a time and place sometimes for certain situations? It does. It shouldnt be every workout, every phase, all the time.

Most workouts shouldnt feel like you are trying to survive them. If this is you, you need to change the lens you look at your strength training. Dont know where to start? Thats what myself and my team are here for.

There are many different ways to work on isolated hip extension. For those struggling to demonstrate it without compensatory patterns, using vectors of force and modalities that emphasize control eccentrically. Cable loaded seated good mornings with tempo emphasis on the eccentric portion of the movement keeps the motion safe and effective at both building isolated hip extension and providing feedback in the eccentric motion.

2018 we rebranded and “relocated” two doors down to our current location.

This year we had our eye on expansion and even had a new spot picked out. Things didn’t workout so my job was to make the most of what we have. With the help of an awesome handyman, we were able to transform Unconventional Strength.

More space courtesy of @fray_fitness storage, added some new gear from @hyperice and @ancoretraining and created a space that maximizes our sq footage and exemplifies what we are: the preeminent location for personalized coaching in Central Florida.

Come see why we are so special and how we can get you moving, performing and living better than you ever have before.

More to come in new offerings including kettlebell and steel mace classes, kinstretch returning and new testing/assessment options.

Functional Range Conditioning Internal Strength Mo

Functional Range Conditioning Internal Strength Model

Input 5 (ST<Failure)

Working with @ryderbondurant all summer to improve some discomfort in his kicking mechanics. During his FRA there was a noted lack of hip IR on his kicking leg, a key component for his follow thru. Took some time to reduce his kicking input this summer and focus on creating the workspace and prerequisites necessary to kick (extension, hip ER, abduction, IR with flexion). As we move closer to season starting we moved into more sport specific mechanics into his inputs, just like a linear progressive model of strength and conditioning.

This video is continuous lift offs at two separate positions of follow thru, not at maximum velocity yet but under load. This is the final step before inputting higher velocity inputs that will lead to executing his kicking mechanics on the field this fall.

Super proud of this kids progress and dedication this summer and trust in the process.

Also appreciate bouncing off this idea with @strangegrayson and @mosesbernard. Collaboration begets innovation.

I tend to use this platform for education and demonstration but this shoutout has to happen.

This is in about six weeks.

Video #1: struggling to understand the mechanics of a get up unloaded.

Video #2: confidently completing a get up loaded.

So proud of this girl. She’s heading back to college soon but has been a sponge of learning with me this summer.

Rotation Variations for Athletes and General Popul

Rotation Variations for Athletes and General Population

Do you rotate in your workouts?

If you are a rotational based athlete of any kind (golf, tennis, baseball) your training should reflect the force vectors specific to your sport.

So while saggital based patterns (forward and backward) are useful for building overall strength and easier to execute and overload, if you arnt finding ways to incorporate rotation you’re missing out on a key component to increasing force output directly related to the needs of your sport.

You can choose to rotate using your hips and upper with static feet, rotate the upper body only or add in pivot mechanics for maximum velocity in force output in the transverse plane.

I included some variations of rotational clean with a kettlebell, crossbody cable rows and rip strike to show you how.

These are important for both sport specific activities and just everyday strength and durability.

Don’t ignore rotation in your training.

Also, it’s critical to be connected to the ground as possible. Do this by training barefoot or wearing some barefoot shoes. I wear @vivobarefoot when I’m not training barefoot. The more connected you can be with the ground, the better your kinetic chain fires.

Don’t Michael Scott your warm up.

Now what makes a good warm up?

A few rules to consider:
1) elevate the heart rate to increase overall circulation.
2) Start local at the joint and surrounding connective tissue.
3) work into global patterns that work the agonist and antagonist musculature of your workout.
4) gradually increase the intensity to make your first working set.
5) add some deep diaphragmatic breathing to increase NO2 supply and core activation.
